GRIMSBY, UNITED KINGDOM — I've given this place 4 stars. It's the all day breakfast that lets it down really...sounds like an ordinary review of a hotel right? Well, it's actually written from a man who was locked up at Grimsby police station in the UK on Wednesday.

Christian Willoughby of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire in the UK was taken into custody at Grimsby police station on Wednesday for an alleged 'misdemeanor'. He reportedly has a number of previous convictions including theft, burglary and assault.

Willoughby somehow managed to smuggle an iPad into his cell and posted a TripAdvisor-style review of the cell on Facebook: "I've given this place 4 stars. It's the all day breakfast that lets it down really. Apart from that the staff are pleasant enough. Had my own on-suite room and butler... Who would come with tea and newspapers. Room was nice, the minimalistic idea was a nice touch. It was secure and safe... Quadruple glazing and security door. Ideal place for winding down after a hard day. I'd definitely come back".

The post has since gone viral and has been shared almost 3,000 times on Facebook.

"We take any such breach of security and detainee safety extremely seriously and will be carrying out a review of our detainee management to identify any lessons learned and prevent further reoccurrences in the future," Chief Inspector James Glansfield of Humberside Police told the Telegraph.
